I signed up for closed beta ages ago. Not in yet though.
Was a little pissed that I wont be able to play RAF for ages. The quiz they issued me also annoyed me, in that I couldn't answer Britain for anything.
Can't use British tanks in WoT
Can't use British planes in WoWP
I also doubt that I will be able to use British ships in WoBS.

What kind of game about planes doesn't have any British planes?, the spitfire and hurricane fighter planes were one of the most famous planes during WW2.
Also WoT doesn't have any British tanks?, do they not even know that it was the British that practically helped introduce tank warfare?.

True but it's under the Soviet faction, i would rather prefer it if the British was a faction with their own tanks.Fooshie said:

Having a joystick wouldn't have helped you one bit, with no sensitivity and dead zone sliders. Also it was damn near impossible to get in a battle in alpha. I think I managed to get in a total of three games, though thanks to how horrible I found the control scheme I didn't exactly feel like spending many more hours trying to get in more games.
Indeed, however, when the focus of a game is a particular period and type of combat in this case WWII air combat I find it depressing when said game essentially does away with most things that made said form of combat so interesting or difficult or even original.
Of course Il-2 Cliffs of Dover was buggy as hell and is still in need of many patches, so I would not try and argue it as some wonderful representation of any genre.
It is not as if there have not been other games which were still rather "simple" in nature but still somehow managed to avoid going into completely arcade territory in regards to WWII air combat. For third person, turn and burning combat without fuel limitations and unlimited ammo I can go play Ace Combat or any one of several similar games.
